SQLite is used more in resource-constrained environments. If I had much memory to waste, I would've used a local PostgreSQL installation to begin with.

Note that advanced vector-embedding querying techniques for approximate nearest neighbor search inevitably always need an absurd amount of memory, so it typically doesn't make sense to use them in a resource-constrained environment to begin with.

It's also used plenty in the cloud, for a variety of reasons. Check out the first linked article for something I wrote on that: https://www.maragu.dev/blog/go-and-sqlite-in-the-cloud
